Colorado Girl

[whitestripebuzz]

Good god this couldn't get any better. My favourite Townes song by one of my favourite artists playing on my dream guitar. Guess its godda go in the favourites egh.

[kellymawson]

where can i buy this? yeah the vibrato is a little much at times,

but it is still beautiful, and a great song....

[bjewell2]

He is such a huge, gigantic douche.

[dkeener13]

love the picking, but I could really do without the weird vibrato.

[TankGirlBOOM]

Uugh. Im in love with this man. Haha.

[ben23speed]

Anyone got the chords to this ? :)

[samnninty]

Fantastic cover of a brilliant song.

[jtwilson777]

Well, that there is a version of that song I guess.

[noobyharry]

The chords are:

C F (keep the c position but move the middle finger down a string to the third and finger the fourth string 3rd fret with little finger) and G.

Work out the order and patterns and stuff, but that's it as far as i'm concerned.

[MrDariusFleury]

Well I play it as a blues in D.

Chords: D then G then D

G then D

A7 then G then D

But I agree, the first chord is playin is very weird.

[Papa2034]

For those musicians out there, I got a question. It's obviously a blues in C but what is that first chord he's playin? around with before he gets into the song? Also, has anyone tabbed this out yet?

[noslok]

what a douche ... I mean my cover of this aint no f*cking grammy winner, not even close, but f^ck atleast I sing it like haven't been neutered ... grow a pair of balls before you sing a song written by a real man you twat ...

[julianamaz]

@noslok right, like we need more 'hey there delilah"

[KaplanCrack]

@noslok really man? do you even know who he is lol. You sound so ignorant.

[iwouldve]

what a cunt.

[clstile]

my grandmother just brought me back a shot glass from colorado. i think ill have some drinks this weekend from it while listening to this song :)

[vampirewolf1313]

Colorado girl -right here :3

[thtsritesun1212]

@vampirewolf1313 yeah! I wish they all could be COLORADO girls!! haha

[madformika]

favorite cover.

[rxa177]

murderer!!!! Townes Van zandt is rolling in his fucking grave

[ddulcinea]

Yes, I am a *Colourado Girl*.

[shudadun]

nice job, dude..

[whoawhoawhoaspeedup]

he ruined a great song with his crap voice

[ISYPan]

I wish Devendra's music was still cool.

[justinruns]

He sounds so much happier when he sings this than Townes ever did. Townes=suicidal song. Devandra=Happy to see my girl song.

[rxa177]

@justinru

Are you fucking kidding me? Townes's conveyance of emotion is not being replicated in any way. He sounds like he has a speech impediment. I will agree that his playing is quite good

[489177]

This girl can really sing.

[danveldor]

his voice sounds like Donovan, but this song is very gorgeous :)

[jbone78]

Cant remember the title but this is on the extras of a Townes Van Zant documentary.

[portugalsurvive]

"Be Here to Love Me".

[skankinjimbo]

He ruins this song.

[lynnberly]

where can this dvd be bought?!?!

[TheIrishCajun]

his voice seems really forced, like its not natural, like he's trying to make it sound that way

[cruzpolo9]

nope

[Benleeactor]

Thanks for posting this. I love it and haven't stopped listening to it for 2 weeks so far!!

[ofarevolution441]

this is too good.

[hiercolloquialism]

is he really sleeping with natalie portman? that's fantastic, mm mm.

[opiate9]

HAHA. No kidding. It's a man's world, I tell ya.

[cavaIiereternal]

not anymore.

[paintingangels]

man alive... this is so beautiful.

[hotbutteredghost]

townes van zandt...

[wolfmann0005]

i love that man!

[stonespiral]

when he's on stage.

[TheRealMario46]

This song should be more famous, such a great song.

[ddulcinea]

*I agree with you*

[juanjoseph]

townes would be proud!

[FreakOfDk]

I COULD be your colorado girl, though I'm danish.. Is that important? Does it matter at all?

- He was in Denmark just a few years ago at Roskilde Festival. He made girls flush... :P

[cosmosanddemos]

He looks so blissed-out when he plays, I love it.

[dsvogel420]

simple amazing! I could listen to this over and over! Hits home abit

[vacantgreen]

I love it when my home state gets namedropped. Yay Devendra/Van Zandt!

[yeahwellsoisyourface]

That was excellent! Great version of an already amazing song, well done!

[AnonymouslyCivil]

If i can see Devendra Banhart live...i can die happy =] beautiful cover!

[likeamotherfucker]

i saw him in san francisco last summer. He's so great live. they played a short set though.

[kaitlynsaysgo]

i'm your Colorado girl.... :)

[MarsVoltaKA]

Heheh you wish!

[DARMOAN]

an original Townes Van Zandt song done wonderfully by this dude..

[welcomefinch]

what a guy

[fleurrr]

This is just so magical.

Devendra always says he doesn't like his own guitar playing, and that he's not good enough, but he's amazing!

[dsvogel420]

I love his playing! its soothing style lulabye

[kikstaboo42]

ohhh shit.

[gracelizabeth09]

i'm a colorado girl :))

&i wish i was devendra's girl heh...

[koruboyy]

it sound a lot like Mississippi John Hurt's songs!

[mrshllbnntt]

carolina girls, so much better, because well duh, carolina is better than colorado

[Meeshow44]

he's got some Jeff Buckley voice trembling going on, nice guitar playing man

[4eva2cool]

hmmmm

[geredwilliams]

[bubbles1306]

[dgroeneman]

He does such a great Vincent Gallo impression.

[jeaniebaby001]

the ble-e-e-e-ting vibrato is kinda weird, tho. lol

[Tigizi]

Devendra is incredible, Great Towens cover!

[emo777monster]

[Durgeofcerberus]

[CaseyJohanna]

aww i love that he's nervous.

[xBarackANDRollx]

ahh, he's so good!!

i absolutely LOVE devendra! =]

[gangstarphil]

He's no TVZ, but not a bad effort.

[Belfire4]

hey could anybody get me tabs or even the cord progression for this song? its to beutiful to not learn

[radicaljonny]

D & G & A7

Figure out the finger picking pattern he is using yourself I suppose.

[coolanddark]

man nice job on one of fav TVZ tunes!

[spotlitkiss]

why's he so nervous?

[thebaddoctor]

it's Townes Van Zandt, don't want to mess that up

[anneayer]

Colorado, there's no place like it.

[togunner4]

colorado girls...what else can you really say

[rockdiva1983]

Awesome

[justinruns]

This is my favorite Townes song man, good job.

[d3ff3ct3d]

one of the greatest artists of all time

[vinylaffair]

hes so nervous

love.

[starla1960]

Love Him!!!!!!!!

[sameli32]

devendra, it's a sight to behold...

[TheVideoElf]

Devendra Banhart always shines the light, a rare find these days!

ifyouaskmee blogspot - The Lost Seasons

theElf

[TheAutomaticShoes]

that be.. the LIGHT OF LOVE ;-)

[rafaelmadferit]

I think the lyrics of this song are influenced by the book "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac, when the heroe goes to Denver, and has a lot of adventures, etc...

Devendra woul be a good charchter for Kerouac books, a hippie, probably in drugs, who loves travels and poesy

[justinruns]

I don't think it had to do with that. Townes spent a lot of time growning up in Colorado. Who knows though, maybe you're right. It's too late to ask him now.

[chadnikk422]

Is that Sean Waters from the band "Wasabi" in Fort Collins???

[Belfire4]

devendra banhart

[BeatnikManfred]

Wow Man, very good Guitar-Picking and a awesome Voice....Graet...*****and more.

Manni

[steelsdigital]

amazing i just saw devendra.. i also so this guy deer tick play this song live 2 weeks ago

[victorolden]

Very interesting!

Voice and guitar!

Victor

(Moscow)

[hmsdonovan]

awesome, going to see Devendra on Sept 25th in Bean town.

[zitothebandito]

hahahaa. i love the ending.

[AlvisaMinidoruv]

If you watch the interview they do with him on the rest of the special features section, he acts incredibly cracked out on lord knows what kind of fucking drugs. To the point of not even being funny anymore, just sad.

Ah well.

[phanfarl]

qué preciosidad

[DisfiguredCowboy]

Is this really from Be Here to Love Me? Seems too recent...this is a great video. You should fix the spelling, so people can find it easier. It's Colorado, not Colarado. :)

[rnrmf]

Yup, it's on the special features. Thanks for the speling :)

[pirilampa]

amazing :)

[coldwatersupertramp]

i also like JT van zandt's version of "nothing". I dare say it's better than his dad's. guy clark is really funny on the dvd too, does anyone know what song he was about to play (at townes' funeral) at the end of this dvd?

[priser24]

I like JT's version quite a bit, but I'd hardly say it's better than his dad's, especially the one on Live and Obscure, which is simply amazing.

[artmaniac53]

Great perfomer!!!
